Yew vs parish

The present church is in the same order of age as the tree — or older.

Yew (estimated midpoint)c. 1226

Present churchc. 1100

Sacred site (earliest)c. 900

Ages for hollow yews are speculative. A midpoint is a reading aid, not a ring count. Compare ranges on the profile, and treat anything beyond two millennia as a working hypothesis.
